Sorry if I'm in the wrong forum, please point me to the right one if I am. This is my very first post and I hope to become more active, this seems like an amazing community.
I have a footlong peacock bass. She's eating the spectrum giant fish formula and the frozen foods I put in, but didn't seem to like the superworms I tried yesterday (my flowerhorn, on the other hand, loved them). She's getting along well with the six other fish in the aquarium (it's 125 gallons and I stocked it with 2 severums, a synodontus, an ornate bichir, a pleco, and a small flowerhorn. I'm running a fluval fx6 cannister filter on the tank), but she honestly kind of looks bored. So I'm thinking - what about basic training? Recognizing me, maybe teaching her a trick or two (suggestions?), generally trying to make her life fulfilling.
So to start, I've bought two packets of cat treats from a local specialty food shop. One is Buddy Biscuits Grain Free Cat Treats in Tender Chicken flavor. Its grain and gluten free. The ingredients listed are chicken, chickpea flour, potato flour, maple syrup, tapioca starch, vegetable glycerine, gelatin, natural flavor, salt, phosphoric acid, sorbic acid, citric acid, mixed tocopherols, and rosemary. The other is Bites Real Meat All Natural Jerky Treats in Beef flavor. The ingredients listed are: Beef, dried chicory root, vegetable glycerin, sea salt, and mixed tocopherols. It claims to be 95% beef. Are there any reasons I can't give these to my fish? I haven't opened them yet and will give them to my local crazy cat lady for Christmas if they'll be a problem.
Thank you guys!
